NYC Billboard Calls Biden Out After Migrants Attack Cops

President Joe Biden’s immigration agenda has been directly linked by critics in both parties to an unsustainable influx of undocumented migrants across the nation’s southern border.

Amid a record rate of illegal immigration, border states have been forced to take unilateral action without support from the federal government, and one strategy involves relocating some of the incoming migrants to other areas of the country — including so-called “sanctuary” jurisdictions like New York City.

As a result, these leftist-dominated cities have begun to experience firsthand the impact of America’s porous border, leading Democratic Mayor Eric Adams to declare last year that the crisis “will destroy New York City.”

In addition to draining the city’s resources and contributing to the filth on display across the Big Apple, there are serious safety issues related to the arrival of so many unvetted migrants.

A group of individuals identified as undocumented migrants could be seen attacking a pair of New York Police Department officers last month, sparking public outrage across the city and beyond.

This week, the conservative Job Creators Network funded a billboard in New York City depicting the attack along with a direct message to the president.

“Hey Joe! If cops aren’t safe because of your open borders, nobody is,” the message asserted.

The organization also maintains an online petition aimed at convincing the White House to take a more proactive role in securing the border.

“President Biden needs to stop playing political games with the southern border,” declared Job Creators Network spokesperson Elaine Parker. “The administration already has the authority and resources it needs to act.”

As of recent updates, a total of eight migrants have been charged in connection with the Jan. 27 attack in Times Square. Authorities believe nearly twice that many might have been involved in the incident. 

All of those charged thus far have been identified as natives of Venezuela and at least two reportedly have ties to Tren de Aragua, a street gang based in the South American nation.

Subsequent attacks by undocumented migrants in the city have fueled additional concern, including an incident involving an Amazon driver who said he defended himself against an unprovoked attack by an unclothed migrant only to end up facing an assault charge.
